Tetlepanquetzal

?1525 CE · Tlacopan (Tacuba)

Tetlepanquetzal was the last independent ruler of Tlacopan, the Tepanec city that formed the third and junior partner of the Aztec Triple Alliance. He stood with the Mexica in the defense of Tenochtitlan against the Spanish and their allies. Captured after the city's fall, he was taken on Cortés's march to Honduras and put to death together with Cuauhtémoc and Coanacochtzin in 1525.
